At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Although Que Yunsheng's voice was hoarse, it was neither hurried nor slow.

"Why are you dressed as a boy?"

Jiang Zao covered his stomach and moved closer to the fire to warm himself up, but he still felt uncomfortable.

He snorted, "You didn't tell me you could talk, so I thought you were a mute."

Que Yunsheng lowered his brows and said, "I was kidnapped and drugged before, so I can't speak. How about you?"

He first confessed part of the truth to show his sincerity.

"Oh." Jiang Zao tilted his head, "I had no choice."

She didn't know why her original self dressed as a man, so this was the only answer she could give.

Que Yunsheng stared into her eyes and found that she really had nothing to hide.

The main reason was that Jiang Zao’s eyes were too innocent, revealing a clear kind of stupidity.

Moreover, during the few days they spent together, he also discovered that Jiang Zao did not seem like a scheming person.

"Hmm..." Jiang Zao's stomach hurt more and more, and her face turned paler.

"what happened to you?"

Que Yunsheng put a series of thoughts behind his mind, looked up and asked.

"I, my stomach hurts." Jiang Zao didn't want to tell her directly that she was having her period, especially when facing an ancient person.

"What should we do?" Que Yunsheng looked up and saw darkness all around. There was no clinic at all. "Let's travel overnight and see if we can find a clinic."

"No, you don't have to go." Jiang Zao's face flushed, suppressing the paleness. "I know what's going on. There's no need to go to the clinic."

"You know?" Que Yunsheng expressed deep doubt.

"That's right, ahem, girls always have some inconvenient times." Jiang Zao couldn't stand his gaze any more and said it cryptically.

Que Yunsheng stood up suddenly, and his face quickly turned red like dyed cloth, all the way to the back of his neck.

"Ah, then, then what..."

"Well, how can I help you?"

After hesitating for a long time, Que Yunsheng uttered these words. He was not a simple little boy who knew nothing. He was already eleven years old and had heard a lot.

So I immediately understood what Jiang Zao meant.

These were not questions a boy like him should ask, but after spending so many days together with Jiang Zao, he couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards her.

So I asked anyway.

Jiang Zao was slightly stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Que Yunsheng was different from the stereotype of ancient people in her memory.

No more pretentiousness now.

After all, she was the one who was in pain.

"I need some clean cloths and hot water."

Que Yunsheng's face flushed red as he held back his anger. "Can I take off my underwear?"

Jiang Zao: ...

Jiang Zao held his forehead and said, "I'd better use my own."

Seeing that Que Yunsheng's mouth was slightly frowning, Jiang Zao immediately explained, "When we get to Ning County, we can sell the mule. The money we get from it will be enough to buy many new clothes."

Que Yunsheng had no choice but to go boil water.

After all this hard work, Que Yunsheng became proficient from being unfamiliar at the beginning.

When Jiang Zao went to change her clothes, he insisted on following her, fearing that something might happen to her.

After all, in his heart, Jiang Zao is now a weak little girl who needs protection.

Neither of them had a good rest the whole night. Jiang Zao was tortured by the occasional stomachache, while Que Yunsheng was troubled by Jiang Zao's gender.

When Que Yunsheng thought about living with a little girl for such a long time, he made a decision in his heart.

Although Jiang Zao doesn't look like the kind of girl that the old ladies would describe as fertile, she is kind-hearted and has saved me more than once.

Then, what he should do is to pledge himself to her.

Besides, Jiang had already slept with him.

Ahem, although that was because when they were in the cave and at the bottom of the cliff, the two had no choice but to do so for safety reasons.

Even if he didn't know Jiang Zao's true identity, he should still shoulder his responsibilities as a man.

The next day, Jiang Zao rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up at the scorching sky.

I didn't expect that I fell asleep in the early morning and now it's almost noon.

There were bloodshot eyes in Que Yunsheng, but he did not wake her up.

The mule cart had already stopped and the aroma of grilled fish wafted over.

Que Yunsheng didn't know what Jiang Zao liked to eat, but when he saw that she always caught fish, he thought she liked grilled fish.

These two were caught by Que Yunsheng. Of course, he didn't catch them by swimming like Jiang Zao did, but he pierced them both with a wooden stick.

Jiang opened his eyes early and first received a cup of slightly hot water on a leaf, and then a grilled fish was handed to him.

And Que Yunsheng only had one simple answer: "Eat."

Jiang Zao was a little confused, and this confusion lasted until the evening.

She didn't have to do anything at all, everything was ready in front of her.

She finally couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing? I'm not useless yet."

Jiang Zao, a career-oriented person, can't stand eating all the time without working, and he feels like he is particularly useless.

She doesn't want to be a lazy person, she wants to work hard and make progress.

Of course, Jiang Zao has not yet found the direction to work hard and make progress.

She was still confused, but that didn't stop her from doing what she could.

"You are a girl." Que Yunsheng said only one sentence. He found this to be the case at his master's house. His master's wife never did anything, and neither did his master's daughter.

Even if you do, only do what you like.

He is going to marry Jiang Zao in the future, and some things are better done earlier than later, just like the master said.

Besides, he didn't do much, just some chores.

There is no need for Jiang Zao to worry about it.

"I can collect firewood and look for wild fruits." Jiang Zao rubbed his hands.

Que Yunsheng disagreed at first, but later agreed after thinking about it.

After all, the master also said that some things are fun when two people do them together.

He cannot realize this now, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Jiang Zao's words never came true in the end.

She was on the third day of her menstrual period. She felt like she was about to collapse and her body smelled of blood.

He didn't have the energy to speak, he just lay on the mule cart, holding his stomach.

He could only respond weakly to Lian Que Yunsheng's concern.

Fortunately, Que Yunsheng just didn't quite understand, but he was obedient, especially listening to Jiang Zao now.

He was anxious, but he also knew that under the current conditions, Jiang Zao would definitely not be able to get a good rest.

He hoped to find a good place to stay today so that Jiang Zao could have a good rest.

What you say will come true.

In the forest not far away, a corner of a temple appeared.

Que Yunsheng was delighted.

The pace quickened a bit.

The road leading to the mountain is very narrow and mule carts cannot go up at all.

Que Yunsheng had no choice but to park the mule cart at the entrance of the mountain road.

He went up to take a look himself, and then came down to tell Jiang Zao.

There is an abandoned mountain temple on top.

He hastily tied the mule to a tree, patted its head and said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

The two of them wanted to hold hands and go up halfway up the mountain.
